Chlorine Dioxide Water Treatment: A Smarter, Safer & More Efficient Approach

Chlorine dioxide water treatment has long been regarded as one of the most effective methods for disinfecting and purifying water across municipal, industrial, and community-level systems. Its strong oxidizing properties make it superior for eliminating harmful microorganisms, controlling odor, and improving water quality. However, traditional chlorine dioxide production has come with challenges—mainly the complexity, safety concerns, and high cost associated with generating and storing the gas.

For decades, chlorine dioxide was produced using specialized generators that required fire-proof facilities, trained personnel, and high-cost precursor chemicals. More than 99% of gas-generated chlorine dioxide goes unused, making it highly inefficient and impractical for small and medium-scale water treatment operations. The risks of handling explosive gases only add to the operational burden. As a result, chlorine dioxide water treatment was mostly accessible to large organizations with the resources to invest heavily in equipment and safety infrastructure.

Another approach—liquid chlorine dioxide derived from acidified sodium chlorite—has its own drawbacks. The process is chemically imprecise, often leading to the formation of free chlorine radicals and harmful by-products. While widely used in the past, this method reflects outdated water treatment practices with unacceptable risks to water quality and environmental safety.

Today, the landscape is changing. GO2™ introduces a modern, revolutionary way to manage chlorine dioxide water treatment. Instead of complex machinery or hazardous gases, GO2™ is produced simply by mixing two powders with normal or deionized water. This creates a 4,000 ppm liquid chlorine dioxide solution with 95% purity—without waste, residue, or harmful secondary compounds.

GO2™ is an accessible, affordable solution suitable for large water authorities and smaller rural communities alike. The simplified dosing tank and pump system makes water treatment scalable and safe, without the need for specialized rooms or highly trained personnel.

As water treatment demands continue to evolve, GO2™ stands out as a breakthrough solution—cleaner, safer, more efficient, and undeniably the future of chlorine dioxide water treatment.
